Check your throw angle with a one-arm pendulum
As a check on the throw angle, the coach says to go to the top of your current backswing and move the lead arm off your body toward the target, like swinging a pendulum. Too steep and you hit behind the ball; too shallow and you completely miss the ground; just right and you brush the ground out in front with a free-moving shoulder.
